New Clinical Trial Shows Promise in Treating Certain Types of Mesothelioma
A recent clinical trial has shown promising results in the treatment of certain types of mesothelioma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. The trial focused on a novel type of chemotherapy called pegargiminase, which has been found to improve the survival rates of patients with biphasic and sarcomatoid mesothelioma. The addition of pegargiminase to the standard chemotherapy treatment for nonepithelioid mesothelioma cases has emerged as a promising new approach, targeting tumors that lack argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) expression. The results of this clinical trial represent a significant advancement in the treatment of mesothelioma, particularly for patients with biphasic and sarcomatoid cell types.
